Spring Football Spotlight: Dunbar High School

Shanon Reid just finished his first spring practice at the University of Tennessee. He will likely play for the Vols this fall.

His alma mater, though, has some big shoes to fill.

Dunbar High School takes center stage in our daily look at spring practice in Southwest Florida.

A year ago at this time, Sammy Brown was just getting started as the Tigers head coach. He went 9-3 making the regional semifinals in his first year running the show. Now, he needs to see some of his players grow up quickly.

"Last year's team, we had a bunch of dogs. We, right now, we got a bunch of puppies. We gonna see how this thing works out, 20 days of spring, and we'll start checking 'em out, evaluating 'em," Brown said. "I think this spring will be very helpful for 'em to get in these 20 days and kinda be the man, you know, the guy in that position, and see where that takes us.

He does have one big-time player – a full-grown dog, if you will.

Wide Receiver Shocky Jacques-Louis verbally committed to Kentucky late last week despite offers from Georgia and USF, among others.

We asked him why he picked the Wildcats?

"Kentucky was there for me ever since my freshman year, you know? They offered me until late freshman year, but they was always there. They seen the potential in the beginning," Louis said. "All these late schools coming in, they see the potential now, but Kentucky seen it ever since the beginning. They believed in me."
